听力原文:In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with hushed voices, and the topics open

听力原文: In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with hushed voices, and the topics open for discussion were very much restricted. We were not allowed to bring up anything that was potentially unappetizing; body functions, bugs, murder and mayhem in general were all strictly forbidden topics. If I had to leave the table to use the toilet, I had to verbally excuse myself without mentioning what it was that I was going to do. "May I be excused, please? I need to wash my hands." I would say. My mother would say, "Sure." My father would often play a joke on us by saying, "Your hands don't look dirty to me!"

As for eating, we did it quietly. No eating noises were allowed. Everything must be done as quietly as possible. Therefore, we had to eat with our mouths closed. To make a "smacking" noise was, perhaps, the worst offense possible. While drinking soup or coffee or wine "slurping" was also forbidden. If any sound whatever was created by our intake of food or beverage, it constituted bad manners! With that in mind, it was, of course, unthinkable to speak with one's mouth full of food, so speaking only occurred before or after one had taken in food and swallowed it.

How one sits at the table is also prescribed. One is to sit up straight with the recessive hand in one's lap holding a napkin while the dominant hand holds the fork or spoon. The only time one is allowed to have both hands on the table is when one is using a knife to cut something, but as soon as the cutting is done, the recessive hand goes back to the lap. Also, elbows are not allowed on the table. Therefore, one props the arm against the edge of the table just below the elbow. One should never reach for any food on the table; one should ask someone sitting near it to give it to you. "Would you please pass the potatoes? .... May I trouble you for the salt?" These are phrases that you are likely to hear on any given night of the week at a family dinner.

Which of the following seems an unlikely topic over dinner?

A.The weather is going to be stormy.

B.A child was abused to death by his stepfather.

C.Oscar ceremony.

D.Family reunion at Christmas.

听力原文: My mother was born in a small town in northern Italy. She was three when her parents immigrated to America in 1926. They lived in Chicago when my grandfather worked making ice cream. Mama thrived in the urban environment. At 16, she graduated first in her high school class, went onto secretarial school, and finally worked as an executive secretary for a railroad company. She was beautiful too. When a local photographer used her pictures in his monthly window display, she felt pleased. Her favorite portrait showed her sitting by Lake Michigan, her hair went blown, her gaze reaching toward the horizon. My parents were married in 1944. Dad was a quiet and intelligent man. He was 17 when he left Italy. Soon after, a hit-and-run accident left him with a permanent limp. Dad worked hard selling candy to Chicago office workers on their break. He had little formal schooling. His English was serf-taught. Yet he eventually built a small successful wholesale candy business. Dad was generous and handsome. Mama was devoted to him. After she married, my mother quit her job and gave herself to her family. In 1950, with three small children, dad moved the family to a farm 40 miles from Chicago. He worked land and commuted to the city to run his business. Mama said goodbye to her parents and friends, and traded her busy city neighborhood for a more isolated life. But she never complained.

What does the speaker tells us about his mother's early childhood?

A.She was born in a small town in southern Italy.

B.They immigrated to America in 1962.

C.They lived in Chicago.

D.At 18, she graduated first in her high school class.

听力原文:I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my be

听力原文: I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves; most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction. As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter — the volume of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

33. What can we learn about the speaker as a child?

34. What effect does reading fiction have on the speaker?

35. Which can be the best title for this passage?

(30)

A.He never watched TV.

B.He read what he had to.

C.He found reading unbelievable.

D.He considered reading part of his life.

听力原文:W: Professor Wilson, can you spare me a few minutes?

M: That's OK. Actually, I'm on my way to an appointment with students, so please make this quick.

W: My name is Maria Taylor, and I'm in your Psychology class at 2:00.

M: Oh, yes. I recall now. You always ask good questions about the lectures. What can I do for you now?

W: You say in your lecture last week that IQ changes little from childhood, but the skills of emotional intelligence can be learned at any age.

M: Right, it's not easy, however. You know, growing your emotional intelligence takes practice and commitment and improving your emotional intelligence takes time, say, several months.

W: Why do you say improving an emotional intelligence takes months rather than days?

M: Well, you know, the emotional centers of the brain are involved.

W: The emotional centers of the brain?

M: Yes. The thinking brain learns technical skills and purely cognitive abilities. It gains knowledge very quickly, but the emotional brain does not.

W: Why?

M: Because to master a new behavior, the emotional centers need repetition and practice.

W: So it takes time.

M: Yes. Improving your emotional intelligence, then, is similar to changing your habits. You have to change your old habits and replace them with the new ones.

W: Oh, I see. And another question I want to ask you is. can we say emo tional intelligence is the opposite of IQ?

M: No. You know some people are blessed with a lot of both while some with little of either. What we are doing now is trying to find out how they complement each other.

(23)

A.A scientist and his assistant.

B.A physician and a nurse.

C.A psychologist and a news reporter.

D.A professor and his student.

听力原文: Some of the most practical lessons coming out of research in psychology are in the area of memory. People ask, why can't I remember that term from the physics chapter or that the library books are due?

For many people, memory may be weak, because they don't use it enough. It's like a muscle. If you don't exercise it, it won't get strong. That's why it's important to keep our mind active, to keep on learning throughout our life. We can do this by reading, playing memory games and seeking out new experiences. It's my guess, though, that the lack of stimulation isn't a problem for students like you. More likely, the lives you live are so busy and stimulating that this in itself may sometimes interfere with learning. Later on I will discuss how information is recalled from memory. But, first, the information needs to be recorded, in other words, learned. And for busy people like you and me, that is where the real problem often lies. If we are distracted, or we are trying to think what we are going to do next, the incoming message just might not be getting recorded effectively. And that leads to the first tip for students who want to improve their memories. Give your full attention to the information you hope to retain. Research clearly shows the advantages of this, and also of active learning, of consciously trying to visualize a new fact, perhaps to make a mental picture, even a wild ridiculous one, so the new fact will stick in our memory. Let me illustrate that for you here a little more concretely this evening.

(30)

A.Factors that affect the ability to memorize]

B.The influence of childhood memories on adulthood.

C.A proposal for future psychological research.

D.Benefits of a busy lifestyle.
